While October is packed full of OCR Championship races, we can thank the good folks at BattleFrog for extending the 2015 Championship Season into December…December 12, 2015, to be exact. The BattleFrog Series Championship 2015 is scheduled for competition in Orlando, Florida – a great location and fantastic way to wrap up 2015!
The company’s CEO Ramiro Ortiz said: “The BattleFrog Series Championship will cap off a most exciting year that saw fifteen races and the launch of our popular television show, ‘The BattleFrog College Championship’ on ESPN. We are pleased to showcase our home state and to welcome top athletes from our Points Series and around the world. This exciting race will end the year on a high note and set the tone for BattleFrog’s 44-race expansion in 2016, including our launch in the U.S. West Coast and Canada.”
There’s $60,000 up for the taking! First place male and female in the Elite Division will win $10,000…and cash prizes are paid to the top 10 male and female Elite Division finishers. In the Master’s Division, first place male and female will take home $2,500, with additional prizes for the top 3 Master’s Division finishers.
December 12, 2015, will surely be a fantastic day of racing at Rock Springs Run State Reserve – the site for this year’s BattleFrog Championship showdown, and the swamps and natural terrain (the venue has miles of shoreline) of Florida will surely play into the equation. ORM will be providing full coverage of the event via social media from the ground and on the course.
